Timezone for Iceland

[Björn Eiríksson]

For the longest time I have struggled with Timezone for Iceland in Armbian.

 

The initial Armbian config has Europe -> and then places in Europe, in this list then it even has exotic places like Jan Mayen and or Swalbard (I forgot which ?). But it does not have Iceland at all. 

 

I know at this point in time (at initial install you can manually enter in some time zone format also).

 

If you go in Armbian Config after it has been installed then the Armbian Config tool only displays Cities, so at this point in time you have missed the chance to enter it in the time zone format.

 

Iceland uses UTC / GMT0, as in same time as London half of the year, but differs by one hour the other half since we do not have daylight savings like they have.

 

I guess what I am asking for is something equal to this in the setup windows both in intial setup and in the Armbian Config

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Atlantic/Reykjavik

Armbian config is just a wrapper to system tools that are dealing with this. We only change hardware related packages, the rest is stock Debian / Ubuntu. Is this problem solved somehow in Ubuntu?

 

Probably the core of issue is originating from here: https://www.iana.org/

"Time zone of Iceland in Africa?"

Interesting problem ...

On the other hand, openSUSE Leap 16, KDE, it is not impossible:

... problem is elsewhere. This is running:
 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

 

in CLI (Armbian Noble), choosing region Atlantic, then:
